Take on a different kind of challenge this winter with the 8th Annual Breckenridge Ascent Series, presented by Breckenridge Ski Resort and the Breckenridge Recreation Department. Join us for two early morning and two evening Ski Mountaineering events . All races start at the bottom of each race's respective base with a timing crew at each event to record racer results. Each racer has the option of participating in a long course (includes ascents & descents) or short course (ascent only). Race divisions are broken into lightweight and heavyweight setups with a breakdown in age/gender groups. Use any means to get up the mountain whether it be snowshoes, nordic skis, telemark or AT setups. However, skis or a snowboard are required to come back down from the finish line!

A Sports Waiver and a Vail Resorts Events Waiver must be completed before the race. Pre-registration ends Wednesday, March 13 at 12:00pm. Pre-register and save 10%! Same-day registration begins at 4:45pm on March 14 at the Base f Peak 7 for $25.

Please note, volunteers are heavily relied upon to successfully run this event. Participants may encounter volunteers along the course, at registration, at the finish line, and at post party events. Racers are expected to interact with these volunteers in a professional and non-abusive manner. Should an event participant demonstrate inappropriate behavior that is directed at a volunteer, he/she may be suspended from future Town of Breckenridge Recreation Department events.
